Help me! What's the guitar riff sample? It's driving me Crazy!!!

I'm what you call "a digger". I love finding the original tracks sampled in today's songs because it's usually a forgotten gem and many times better than the newer songs that sampled it. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in the area of original samples... but this guitar riff has me stumped. I can't figure out where it was pulled from (it's dope!). I know I've heard it before and can't put my finger on it and it's driving me bananas. Could it be an Albert King sample? I believe they sampled "Blind Man" by The New Birth in the track, but that's not the guitar. If you know it or can figure it out...help a brother out. Please!!! If not just enjoy the track.

BTW: This track is Banging! By far the best track on the album (circa 2000).

  1. FINALY!!! I think I cracked it. The sample is from the Enter the Dragon soundtrack song "The Fly" just chopped up. Fairly certain I'm correct on this one.

    Damn that took me forever to figure out. Satisfaction!
